NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 2010
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Medical Connections Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (the "Company") is an employment and executive search firm that provides recruiting services to its clients within the healthcare and medical industries throughout the United States. The Company was formed in Florida for the purpose of specializing in the recruitment and placement of healthcare professionals in a variety of employment settings.
In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and related interim statements of condensed consolidated operations and cash flows include the adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring items) necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and represent our accounts after the elimination of inter-company transactions. Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Medical Connections Holdings, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

MARCH 31, 2010
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ADVERTISING
The Company's policy is to expense the costs of advertising and marketing as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $70,982 and $110,905, respectively.
INCOME TAXES
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, we consider tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategie s vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.
ASC 740-10 requires that we recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
COMMON STOCK ISSUED FOR OTHER THAN CASH
Services purchased and other transactions settled in the Company's common stock are recorded at the estimated fair value of the stock issued if that value is more readily determinable than the fair value of the consideration received.
INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Income (Loss) per share: Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the loss of the Company. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential common shares outstanding unless consideration of such dilutive potential common shares would result in anti-dilution. Common stock equivalents were not considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans payable, lines of credit, convertible debentures and promissory notes approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-01 “Equity Topic 505 – Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash”, which clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)). Those distributions should be accounted for and included in EP S calculations in accordance with paragraphs 480-10-25- 14 and 260-10-45-45 through 45-47 of the FASB Accounting Standards codification. The amendments in this Update also provide a technical correction to the Accounting Standards Codification. The correction moves guidance that was previously included in the Overview and Background Section to the definition of a stock dividend in the Master Glossary. That guidance indicates that a stock dividend takes nothing from the property of the corporation and adds nothing to the interests of the stockholders. It also indicates that the proportional interest of each shareholder remains the same, and is a key factor to consider in determining whether a distribution is a stock dividend. Management does not believe that this pronouncement will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-02 “Consolidation Topic 810 – Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification”, which provides amendments to Subtopic 810-10 and related guidance within U.S. GAAP to clarify that the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions of the Subtopic and related guidance applies to the following:
1. A subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity
2. A subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture
3. An exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for a non-controlling interest in an entity (including an equity method investee or joint venture).
The amendments in this Update also clarify that the decrease in ownership guidance in Subtopic 810-10 does not apply to the following transactions even if they involve businesses:
1. Sales of in substance real estate. Entities should apply the sale of real estate guidance in Subtopics 360-20 (Property, Plant, and Equipment) and 976-605 (Retail/Land) to such transactions.
2. Conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights. Entities should apply the mineral property conveyance and related transactions guidance in Subtopic 932-360 (Oil and Gas-Property, Plant, and Equipment) to such transactions.
If a decrease in ownership occurs in a subsidiary that is not a business or nonprofit activity, an entity first needs to consider whether the substance of the transaction causing the decrease in ownership is addressed in other U.S. GAAP, such as transfers of financial assets, revenue recognition, exchanges of nonmonetary assets, sales of in substance real estate, or conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights, and apply that guidance as applicable. If no other guidance exists, an entity should apply the guidance in Subtopic 810-10. Management does not believe that this pronouncement will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 4 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
No stock options were issued or vested in the three months ended March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2010, the Company had one stock based compensation plan, which is described below. The Company accounts for the fair value of its grants under this plan in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Under the 2006 Stock Incentive and Compensation Plan, the Company may grant options to its employees. Under this plan, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant and an option's maximum term is 10 years. The options that were granted vest in one third increments commencing one year from the grant date with subsequent vesting at the second and third anniversary of the options grant date. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the prospective method of transition as prescribed by FASB ASC Topic 718.
A summary of the status of the Company's stock option/warrant plans as of March 31, 2010 is presented below:
Warrant Grants
In connection with various financings that we have secured, we have outstanding warrants to purchase a total of 6,333,494 shares of our common stock.
No. of Warrants | | Grant Date | | Exercise Price | | Expiration Date |
3,553,359 | | 2008 | | $ | 1.50 | | 2010 |
232,854 | | 2009 | | $ | 1.00 | | 2011 |
2,547,281 | | 2009 | | $ | 0.75 | | 2011 |
NOTE 5 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company reported no tax expense or benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to the net operating losses incurred during the period and a valuation allowance established against 100% of the Company’s deferred tax assets which are related to the net operating losses. At March 31, 2010, deferred tax assets consist of the following:
| | 2010 | |
Deferred tax asset | | $ | 10,619,000 | |
| | | | |
Less: valuation allowance | | | (10,619,000 | ) |
| | | | |
Net deferred tax assets | | $ | 0 | |
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had accumulated deficits approximating $28,700,000 available to offset future taxable income through 2027. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in the future period.

MARCH 31, 2010
NOTE 5 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740, previously FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The statute of limitations is still open on years 2007 and subsequent.
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than–not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date the Company applied ASC 740 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company did not recognize an increase in the liability for uncertain tax positions.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and a number of state jurisdictions, including the state of Florida. The tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation of related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2007.
NOTE 6 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has sustained operating losses and its revenue stream is not sufficient to fund expenses at this time. The Company has issued stock to continue to fund operations. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from equity financing and product revenues. These items raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, realization of the assets of the Company is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financial requirements and the success of future operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

General
Medical Connections Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, is a national provider for medical recruitment and staffing services. Established in 2002 to satisfy the increasing need for qualified healthcare professionals, the Company’s business is to identify, select and place the best allied health specialists, pharmacists, physicians, nurses and hospital management executives. The Company provides recruiting and staffing services for permanent and temporary positions with options for the clients and candidates to choose the most beneficial working arrangements.
The Company generates revenues primarily from permanent placement hires and contract appointments:
· | Permanent Placement Hires: This activity includes the hiring of allied health professionals, nurses, physicians, pharmacists and other medical personnel to be employed in healthcare or research facilities. Under this arrangement, we receive a placement fee ranging from 10% to 30% of the employee’s initial annual salary, or a negotiated fee, which is predetermined based upon medical specialty. |
· | Contract Appointments: This represents temporary hires (typically, 13 week contracts) made by healthcare facilities to economically cover short staffing during periods of high-seasonal activity, vacations, leave of absences, etc. This also includes contracts for what is commonly known as “travel positions,” which are for allied health professionals, nurses or physicians who are willing to take temporary assignments outside their home region. Under this arrangement, we are the employer of record for the healthcare professional. The healthcare facility remits a fee to us that include all employment overhead, as well as a surcharge for the service. The revenue from this activity comes from the commission and surcharge for the service. |
Potential Acquisitions: We may expand our operations through the acquisition of other medical staffing or placement agencies Acquisitions would enable us to increase revenue and to integrate the acquired company’s operations into our existing business. If successful, we will be able to extend our market presence. On March 12, 2010, we entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Trustaff Management, Inc., an Ohio corporation and its five wholly-owned limited liabilities companies. We are in the process of completing our due diligence and there can be no assurances that we will be abl e to close this acquisition.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 (“first quarter of 2010”) Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 (“first quarter of 2009”)
Revenue for the first quarter of 2010 was $1,428,591, a decrease of $101,057, or 6.6%, when compared to $1,529,648 in the first quarter of 2009. The two main components of revenue are permanent placement hires and contract appointments.
Revenue from permanent placement decreased $79,733, or 25.7%, to $230,074 for the first quarter of 2010 from $309,807 in the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in the first quarter of 2010 permanent placement revenue was due to the continuing high unemployment due to the decline in the economy and resultant decline in employment opportunities.
Revenue from contract appointments decreased $21,325, or 1.8%, to $1,198,516 in the first quarter of 2010 from $1,219,841 in the first quarter of 2009. This decrease was the result of the impact that the overall economic decline has had on temporary healthcare appointments.
The cost of sales for contract appointments decreased $47,095, or 4.3%, to $1,044,313 in the first quarter of 2010 from $1,091,408 in the first quarter of 2009. These costs represent personnel salaries, including benefits, temporary housing and travel costs. The gross profit from contract appointments increased to $154,203, (12.9% of revenue) in the first quarter of 2010 from $128,433 (10.5% of revenue) in the first quarter of 2009 due to a larger percentage of revenue being derived from slightly higher margin contracts during the first quarter 2010.
Sales and marketing expenses were $70,982 in the first quarter of 2010, a decrease of $39,923, or 36.0%, from $110,905 in the first quarter of 2009. The decrease is due to expense reductions due to our efforts to realize a better return from our marketing expenditures.
Recruiting salaries and costs decreased $189,360, or 30.3%, to $437,338 in the first quarter of 2010, primarily due to the decline in permanent placement revenue and ongoing adjustments to recruiter commission compensation and staffing levels.
Professional and consulting fees increased $470,819, or 154.6%, to $775,528 in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the comparable period in the prior year, as the Company continued to utilize the services of consultants to assist with certain functions related to business development, finance and compliance.
General and administrative expenses increased $123,718, or 15.0%, to $950,074 in the first quarter of 2010 from $826,356 in the first quarter of 2009. Included in these expenses in the first quarter 2010 were $22,500 in intangible asset amortization expense, $53,000 in rent expense and $60,000 in legal expenses.
Other expenses (income) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $652,242 and $39,265, respectively. Included in these expenses in the first quarter of 2010 were $450,000 in investor relations expense, $139,025 in legal and auditing expenses associated with our pending acquisition and $63,218 in investment banking expense.
Net losses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 were $2,501,876 and $1,480,328, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Due to the operating losses and deficits, our independent auditors in their audit opinion have raised doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Despite these historical losses, management believes that it will be able to satisfy ongoing operating expenses. Management has done so to date by raising capital through the sale of the Company’s common stock. It will continue to do so, and/or seek third party financing, until such time as revenues from operations satisfy operating expenses. There can be no assurance that a market for its stock or third party financing will be available, or if available, will be offered on terms that will not adversely impact our shareholders.
As of March 31, 2010, total current assets were $1,673,446 as compared to $1,920,740 on December 31, 2009. The change in total current assets is primarily attributable to a decrease in cash of $192,201 to $825,642 compared to the December 31, 2009 balance of $1,017,843 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $54,094 to $750,288. The reduction in accounts receivable is primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue between the two periods. Also, total current liabilities increased $70,173 to $284,463 when compared to the $214,290 balance as of December 31, 2009. The change is attributable to the timing of payments to vendors and temporary hires.
As of March 31, 2010, property and equipment were $187,316 after accumulated depreciation.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, we raised $2,176,997 from the sale of 8,708,460 shares of our common stock in private offerings. During this same three month period, we issued 125,000 shares of our common stock for services rendered to us by consultants for a total cost of $28,750, using the fair market value price of $.23 per share.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 8221; where such policies affect reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies and Related Information, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in our 2009 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies in the first quarter of 2010.
